She needs to be done with being in office, I don't care if she's breaking the mold, I will not stand a rehabilitation of her image. She's still a racist antisemite conspiracy theory believer. She's an idiot who should have never been elected.
I want her to splinter off with Elon and some others.
Likely what her next grift is going to be.
Can she be done with politics period? Fucking lunatic.
Obnoxious fucking lunatic, mind you. The way she gavels and talks over Ms. Crockett makes me seethe every time.
Heartbreaking: the worst person in the world just made a good point
Her second good point in a couple weeks
She wants Elon money
Rats always flee the sinking ship.
Trump finally out-crazied her and now she no longer lives in the constant never-ending news cycles where she was once uber-popular.
Just an example of how Zionism fuels antisemitism. The goal of Zionist is aligned with a true antisemitic person like MTG.
I have been warning about this for awhile. You'll see antisemitism grow more and more within America as support for Israel continues. And all of that will be around lies like "Israel (Jews) control the US/Media"
And good people completely unconnected to Israel will be hurt in the process.
Just as antisemitism was used as a shield to fuel the genocide in Gaza. The next step is to use the genocide in Gaza to fuel antisemitism in the west once the goals of these racial supremacists have been met. The goals of Zionist and white supremacy align for their own attempts to build Ethnostates.
Will will at the same time continue to see material support for the genocide in Gaza while right wing politicians shift towards using the genocide as a tool for antisemitism. MTG is just the start.
Coukdnt agree more.
People are too fucking stupid to understand thr difference between Judaism and Israel.
You can condemn Israel without hating Jewish people.
The fact this miniscule, rudimentary level of critical thinking is beyond the majority of people is fucking appalling and dishesrtening.

Couldn't agree more. The issue is that Israel has conflated the two deliberately in an attempt to stave off criticism.
They've cheapened the meaning of antisemitism to the benefit of antisemites everywhere. I feel very sorry for good, honest and kind Jewish people everywhere who will bear the brunt.

I think more and more people are beginning to see the difference. The moment the Irish president got called an antisemite they lost an entire nation. It just couldn't be further from the truth. He's a kind, well meaning, intelligent man who puts up with exactly zero bullshit.
This reminds me of an article I recently read about Mamdani's popularity. It stated that people across all demographics in NYC were on board for him, including "young jews."
Maybe older jewish people are still stuck in the propaganda-sphere? I don't know. All I know is that the attempt to lump "antisemitism" together with "anti-zionism" isn't sticking with younger people, and younger people are the future. I'm not jewish, but I am a woman and I'm no stranger to politicians attempting to "protect" me without my consent (anti-trans bathrooms, anti-abortion laws) as if I'm not an adult whose opinion on such matters should be respected. I imagine modern jewish people probably feel a similar oppression - not from those that oppose genocide, but by those that claim that opposition to genocide is somehow hurting jewish people.
I mean, it definitely hurts the jewish people when the powers that be push to conflate anti-genocide beliefs with anti-jewish beliefs. But an easy solution to all of this is to just fucking stop. Stop the genocide. Stop using groups of people as political tools. Stop ignoring the voices of the people you claim to be helping. Thank fuck, at least Mamdani gets it.
I've been trying to point this and an inevitable follow-on to this that is very hard to articulate well. But keep in mind that the largest and most influential group of Zionists are Christian Zionists right here in the US. They do not give a shit about Jewish culture, but they sure get hard for apocalyptic mythology. At the same time, Jews in the US overwhelmingly vote progressive and are active in progressive politics. By fueling a Jews are Israelis first and foremost narrative, at multiple different levels but including in terms of painting anti-Israel as anti-Jewish, the seeds for justifying deportation of large part of the US organized left and a fulfillment of Christian Zionists' apocalypse boners are planted. Couple that with it becoming more and more possible that anyone will be vulnerable to retroactive stripping of citizenship, and i think any Jews feeding into this narrative should be really fucking worried.
Yep. I've worried about this for years. Zionism for many antisemites is "get them out of my country." Israel and many antisemites outside of it believe all jews belong in Israel.
Well she's not wanted in the Dems, maybe the X party has room.
Why? Too crazy for her? Hahahahahahahahahaha.
Not too crazy enough
I'd hoped she was growing, then I rta. Still, recognizing a genocide is a big step and growth isn't linear, and is messy AF. Here's hoping for the best possible outcome. 🙏
She completed the task her handlers gave her like a good puppet.
i always thought firebrand meant more like passionate eloquence not outraged ignorance
I'll believe it to be sincere when she either resigns or fails to run for re-election.
Good! The worst fights come from a messy divorce, and MTG is a world class bitch even under normal circumstances. This smells like popcorn time for us outsiders on the bleachers.
The Georgia congresswoman specifically referenced Elise Stefanik, the Republican Rep. from New York. Trump initially nominated Stefanik to serve as U.S. ambassador to the U.N., but then reportedly pulled her nomination to maintain a safe majority in the House of Representatives. Instead, he nominated former national security adviser Mike Waltz.
Greene said Stefanik got “screwed” by Speaker Mike Johnson and people in the White House – Greene specifically said she did not blame the president.
It's the party that's to blame, not the authoritarian ruler who controls it.
Oh noes
She “hints” at it because she hasn’t mastered the use of language yet.
So she's getting hre Nazi card to make it official?
Please, just do the whole country a favor, and just quit. No more morons in office.
Oh no how unfortunate.
What party will she join?
ACP would be funny.
probably a float party, as long as there's enough beer.
